Re: Poor mans drift but crazy skills.
Years back I had an R/C monster truck ,enjoyed it for a while until I put it under a car and got my a** whooped, that was the end of my R/C career.

Re: Poor mans drift but crazy skills.
Has anyone ever converted the speed of an RC car to scale?
In other words, relative to the scale/size of the car and its feet per second, how many mph if it were full size?

Re: Poor mans drift but crazy skills.
In the video that Captain Slow posted, I'm pretty sure the commentator stated is was over 620mph (scale speed) that these things were reaching. (see from 1 min 45 sec onwards)Jesda wrote:Has anyone ever converted the speed of an RC car to scale?

I can't imagine the reflex speed it takes to pilot one of those things competitively.
That battle for first place in the last vid was simply epic (and I rarely use that word!)

Re: Poor mans drift but crazy skills.
2:24. Awesome.
This video made me smile.
EDIT: That's 2:24 in the first video. The second one was cool too, but the first one, I can barely drive an RC car straight, much less sideways.
